Good point about the pics ... here's a couple. Oil appears dark around entire housing cover and virtually none at input shaft. If replacing this housing seal is as straightforward as it seems, figured I'd start there...

Truck is parked under cover for long periods of time, possible this seal dries out and then starts to fail when put back into service after a long lull in use?
